The syllabus begins with Wrist Spin, Face Loop and Pivot, Alternating Hammerlock, and Man’s Wrap and Swivels, followed by a demonstration of Figures 1–4. The next section introduces Pivots, Side to Side and Running Step, and Boogie Walks, with Figures 5–7 demonstrated together.

The final group covers Syncopated In and Out, Side by Side Turns, and Cradle and Kicks, followed by a demonstration of Figures 8–10. A complete Dance Demonstration concludes the program, showing the material in a continuous dancing context.
